Depending on the firmware version on the controller it will dictate whether it will do IMBE or not. If at one time it did VSELP it will not do IMBE and you are SOL without getting new firmware.

I believe version 20 firmware is the minimum to be able to do IMBE.

 

[MotorolaASTRO]

Yes, the problem is, my Quantar have IMBE and the codeplug from a friend of me is a VSEP, I know that but I think it was maybe possible to change the codeplug for IMBE?

No, you need to bump the firmware or buy a new station control module.

 

[MotorolaASTRO]

OK, and how can I bump the firmware?

If your Quantar has IMBE, then why would you need a friend's codeplug?

Just read your station and use the codeplug from it.

If your firmware needs bumping, you'll need to contact Motorola.

I'm sure the cost to bump it will be close to the amount you paid for it.

Oh, I have a Codeplug, but they dont have Securnet on it. And the Codeplug from a friend of me have the Codeplug option.

Why do you want Securenet? I thought you were trying to tell if your station does IMBE?

Post your firmware revisions and we should be able to tell you if it can do IMBE.

When I bought mine many years ago, i just changed one parameter in the codeplug I read from the station from analog to analog/astro cai (or something like that) and reprogrammed it.

Works great.

You shouldn't have to mess around with anybody elses codeplug in if your firmware supports IMBE.

 

[MotorolaASTRO]

I am use the station Analog and Digital, Digital is IMBE. But I will have in Analog the Securenet option.Where I found the firmware revision? Configuration or Service?

I don't think a Quantar will pass Securenet. You will need an MSF for that.

Quantars will pass Securenet - that was the primary modus operandi in the latter years of new SmartNet trunked systems. Not sure if that extends to conventional, but I would assume so with all of the Federal customers that have Quantars out there.

OK, I need a codeplug for a UHF IMBE Quantar. Where I can select in the Configuration - Hardware Configuration - Station Type where I can select ANALOG ONLY, SEC XL CAPABLE, SEC CFB CAPABLE, ASTRO CAPABLE, ASTRO CAI CAPABLE. SEC XL CAPABLE is the important thing. I have a codeplug where I can select that, but there is a old VSELP codeplug and there doesn't work in my newer IMBE Quantar. On the codeplug from my Quantar I can only select between ANALOG ONLY and ASTRO CAI CAPABLE.

On the codeplug from my Quantar I can only select between ANALOG ONLY and ASTRO CAI CAPABLE.

Then that is all that you can do...period.

Moto stopped supporting it after a certain version. I've only seen Federal customers with more recent firmware supporting Securenet.

OP either needs to downgrade his firmware, which means finding someone selling older memory on ebay or they are out of luck.
